LCdr Dan Bouchard knows a thing or two about healthy living. Cremation & Reception Centre The Base Personnel Services Officer is one of a many senior officers rising to the challenge during the month “ A tradition of trust serving CFB of October in Personnel Support Program’s Formation Esquimalt since 1912 ” Health and Wellness Challenge. “We are asking of our team to participate in this chal- Sensitive to your needs lenge and to try to make better choices and so I figured I’d better participate too,” says LCdr Bouchard.

An avid member of the Base Triathlon Club, NANAIMO - 753-2032 he has also introduced the sport to his family. OFFERING WORLD-WIDE SHIPPING LCdr Lucie Tremblay, Naval Provost Marshal and LCdr [email protected] Bouchard’s wife, is also a gifted triathlete and participated in the Victoria Marathon on Thanksgiving weekend. Their daughters are also involved in youth triathlons. Getting challenge points for physical activity isn’t hard for him, but he has found it difficult to achieve points in all of the wellness categories. “I have a hard time doing 20 minutes a day of conscious relaxation,” he says, and while pointing to a pile of papers on his desk, “after doing this all day, I really don’t want to read anymore,” he says with a chuckle. And, like many of us, LCdr Bouchard has a hard time getting the recommended seven to eight of sleep each night. The health enthusiast has, however, had fun challenging himself to choose some of his behaviours more carefully. “I’m already on a pretty good routine with food, but it’s been a while since I tried something new and I need to work on learning about and getting to know my co-work- ers,” he admits. “These are good habits to have.” What he especially likes about the challenge is that it provides the opportunity to learn about all the programs and services available to the defence community. “Sometimes we take for granted just how many oppor- tunities we have. When I am training, I can ride my bike to work, swim at lunch, and work out in the gym – all within a hundred meters of my office.” Auxiliary Fleet GCWCC Raffle

Prize 1: 4-hour trip for six people on the CFAV Glendyne, a working Tractor Tug in Esquimalt harbour with lunch served on board. They will try to have you on board when they are busy (for example, the Rotary Club winners of this prize saw HMCS Protecteur towed across Esquimalt Harbour by both Glen tugs while on board the Glendyne and watched an MCDV shuffle, as well as a barge being moved). Lunch will consist of lasagna with salad and assorted fruit juices, tea and coffee with chocolate cake for dessert, all prepared on board. Prize 2: A Samaria Doll purchased in Japan approximately 12 years ago for $400. The doll will be on display at the raffle sites. Prize 3: Pat Tillman’s Arizona Cardinals Jersey “player of the cen- tury collectors edition” in a hand-crafted wooden shadow box, ready to hang. Tillman turned down a $3 million contract to join the U.S. military and was tragically killed in Afghanistan in 2005. The jersey will be on display at the raffle sites as well.
